So it seems to me that yes, Universal either needs to adopt Blu-Ray in addition to HD-DVD or switch to Blu-Ray all together. I'm also pretty sure that multi-format players will be out this Christmas, which will effectively end the format war. If I can find a reasonably priced dual format player (reasonably priced being something under $500, preferably under $300), then I'll gladly upgrade. Until then, I'll continue enjoying DVDs on my HDTV (yes, I know they aren't as good, but there's also no chance of getting stuck with something that won't work in the future).
